I’m on a plane! For the next week, I’ll be on the East coast, doing all of the soccer things you can imagine. I’m very excited to get back on the road and cover some interesting soccer games and stories. Itinerary (for those who may be interested in […]
Some news: I’ve moved my podcast over to the Sounder at Heart podcast network. Won’t really affect anything (except your subscriptions), and I’ll still be podcasting on my independent site with more casual thoughts. Enjoy! Interview with Garth Lagerwey.
Uh, so I had planned to write this update in the morning, before news of the Trademark battle between F.C. Internazionale and Inter Miami went public. And then I had to take off for Sounders practice. Then I had a doctor appointment for my shoulder (it ain’t great, […]
The Sounders returned to the practice field in earnest over the past two days, having gotten some extended time off over the last 10 days or so with the International Break. Without the full squad in attendance, the Sounders have use some of the Tacoma Defiance roster (and […]
The last two days of training have definitely felt a bit different. Part of that can of course be chalked up to the Sounders being on a bye week. Another part to the fact that the team is missing a handful of players to international duties. Still, change […]
What do you say when everything is sunshine and rainbows? The Sounders are in a good spot right now: A 2-0-0 start, +5 Goal Differential and not much in the way of injuries. Of course, such a thing is not meant to last, but you might as well […]
The start of the season can only mean one thing: Lawsuit updates! Okay, maybe a bit more than that. On this episode, I talk about the Sounders and their big win over the weekend, as well as discuss DP roster construction. Also, a quick dissection of my failure […]
The Sounders returned to the training field at Starfire under sunny skies, which could also be a metaphor for their mood coming off of a decisive 4-1 victory over MLS debutants FC Cincinnati. As one might expect, there wasn’t too much going at practice today. However there was […]
Well, I managed to survive the Sounders Media Match. For those who don’t know anything about my athletic career (and that’s all of you except my family/friends): I stopped playing soccer in 9th grade, at which point I moved over to the American football (like most kids in […]
The snow may be gone, but temperatures were still frigid out at Starfire as the Sounders returned to the practice field ahead of the MLS season opener versus FC Cincinnati this weekend. Some roster news broke ahead of the session, as the Sounders announced that they’d waived Jordan […]
Well! I touched back down in Seattle yesterday morning, fresh off a week in Arizona. The trip started off a bit conspicuously; for those of you who don’t keep up with weather patterns across the country, Seattle was in the midst of a once-in-a-generation snow storm. Seriously, I […]
It’s been an interesting time here at the US Soccer AGM. I’ve gotten a lot of great information, and gotten to know a few people as well. Working on a big summary of the event, which will hopefully be up here by Monday at the latest. As you […]
The Sounders and Timbers renewed acquaintances on a cool February night in Tucson, and while the Sounders gave up a late goal to fall to their rivals 2-1, there were some very promising things to take away from the game. First, the Sounders started a fully reserve lineup, […]
They came…they practiced…they left. After a short break, the Sounders conducted their lone practice at Starfire, before preparing to depart for Arizona for the second half of their preseason training, where they’ll participate in the Tucson Cup. Unfortunately, weather conditions (see picture) prevented the team from using their […]
Now available on iTunes, so check it out, like, subscribe and share! Also available on Stitcher, so you can listen there as well! It’s a Seattle, er…Tacoma-themed episode, where I look at the changes in store for the newly (re)named Reign FC and Tacoma Defiance. Both are moving […]
When I asked about the event being held jointly by the Seattle Sounders and Tacoma Rainiers today, all I was told that, “all your questions would be answered.” There are still a few things left to be sorted out, but suffice it to say, today’s announcement was big. […]

The Sounders ended their (short) first phase of training, as the team will be heading down to California on Thursday for some practices in warmer climates. The team won’t be back training in Seattle training for almost a month, save a one-day session. After California, they will move […]
Welcome back everyone. After one of the longest offseason for the Seattle Sounders in recent memory, the team stepped out on the field at a chilly Starfire for the first practice of 2019. The obituaries for 2018 have been done Ad nauseam, so it’s time to look forward. […]
Big new partnership announcement, as the Sounders and Reign have a new kit partner in Zulily. Design looks simple and should compliment the jerseys well. I personally have no real opinion on the choice of sponsor; if they’re happy with it, good. Had the chance to ask Sounders […]
